Chances of getting a virus are slim, everything is free and open source so you can modify it. Fully customizable, faster, stable, doesn't require constant rebooting.
No bsod, no licensing crap, use live cd or usb which allows you to run the OS on any computer without installing it. No need to run a heap of other bullshit like antivirus, antispyware, registry cleaners, etc. The gaming on Linux is good enough for me, i have numerous emulators and thousands of roms, a good collection of multiplayer fps games that i play online, wine is installed if i need it, or there is always virtual box where Windows belongs Smile
I am currently using a cracked version on Eset NOD32.
Seems to find most of the infections for me.
I use Avast Internet Security real time and Mbam offline.

So I suppose your a Mac User?... Just saying, Macs for unexperienced computer users. That not might apply to you, but a majority.

I'm a Linux/Windows/BSD user, and that just doesn't make sense.
Avira Premium Security Suite. Why? Because it uses no CPU ever, has a high detection rate, and is alot better than any other AV I have tried.
I use Avast! Free Edition as my AntiVirus.

I run Windows XP Professional edition and it does the job. Very happy with this program.

I use avira free as anti virus and zonealarm as firewall. I use avira because of it's I think good virus database and zonalaram because of it's good reputation.

True, it's a kernel.
i use avast , and also alongside it mbam.the two great features of both which have helped me alot are the boot-time scan in avast and the flash scan in mbam which has saved my behind quite a few times
